CNN

This is nonsense! It is just more pressure from the subtle little Obama media machine and these biased polls to pressure Hillary into ending her campaign. THEY ARE AFRAID OF HILLARY'S TENACITY!!! This is why she is the one to beat McCain. As I have always said, the republican machine will eat Obama alive! The Clintons are the only democrats that have taken all of the "BS" that the republicans have thrown at them and are still standing. That is why the republican party is subtly behind the media storm to stop Hillary.

I believe that Obama would be easier to beat than Cliinton in the election.

First: his lack of experience will hurt him, people are afraid for their jobs and their safety, they are going to want to see someone with more experience.

Second: If Obama and his supporters think that the Clinton campaign has been tough on him; wait until the Repbulicians start on him. The Repbulicians will rip him apart.

Third: I have watched all the debates and I beleive that in a debate with McCain Obama will not stand a chance.

Fourth: Obama and his supporters appear to have forgotten about the
electoral votes; as we learned in the last election; ITS THE ELECTROAL VOTES NOT POPULAR VOTES. I for one am unsure that Obama can win enough votes in states like California and Florida to win the electroal vote. (check the number of electroal votes that each state has)

Last: I don't believe that Obama is different than most people, we all have things that we would perfer stay private, things like Rev. Wright and the purchase of his home in Chicago are only the tip of the iceburg. The Republicians can take a case of jay-walking and make it look like a national threat, I don't beleive that Obama can stand up against this.

Clinton however has had many years of having her every move watched and having to defend herself.

I agree Obama will make a better President. Hillary Clinton is truly laughable, she tell eveyone that she the most transparant person in this race for the presidency yet she still have not showed the American people her taxes or said where Bill Clinton recieved all his millions from!

What are they hidding and when will she pay her bills?

What story will she tell us next?

To Scott C.
You should keep your money. You would lose your job. Don't you realize how bad US economy would be?????

I think this is just reverse psychology. Hillary Clinton is the OBVIOUS toughest candidate for the Republicans to beat. John McCain cannot compare to her on economics, the most important issue to Americans at this time. He also cannot beat her on experience and overall skill. I think the Republican are saying Hillary would be easier to beat because they are so afraid that they will have to face her in November. There is no way John McCain will be able to win in the high delegate blue states that Hillary Clinton has even beat Obama in. Even panel members on CNN said today that Obama has no chance of winning the states he's won in the primaries because they will be won by the Republican.

I agree with some points Bill made. I too am from the South, and I am an Obama supporter. At one time, I did think it was going to be difficult for him to win because of the closeted and open racism; however, my hope has been renewed. I think it is time we started walking the walk and not just talking the talk in America. If race is less of an issue in America in 2008 Obama will win, but if we are the same bigots he will not.

I do think the experience thing is overrated, can anyone tell me what course you take or book you read to be a good President? Being a good President is about being an inspiring leader first. Presidents are only as good as his/her advisors, and the team that he/she builds for support. I think you are right on point about Hillary sinking him so she can run in 2012. She has proven herself as the selfish you know what everyone thought her to be.

For all you Democrats out there who are thinking of registering a protest vote for John McCain if your candidate does not get the nomination (especially you women out there) remember, there will likely be two Supreme Court vacancies to filled by the next president that are currently held by moderate to progressive Justices. Now do you want the conservatives in the republican party to place two Supreme Court Justices FOR LIFE? Think about what that means to a woman's right to choose. You can kiss Roe v. Wade goodbye. And you can bet that personal civil rights will also be a thing of the past. So, just a little food for thought before you cast your tantrum vote.

Interesting...
If Obama gtes nomination, his political career will be over this Fall.
Bye Bye!

Hillary has no chance with independents.

Based on the primaries so far it's pretty obvious Clinton has a much better chance of beating McCain. These polls are based on Obama's popularity right now, but once the Republican attack monster shows its ugly face, Obama's will drop like a rock. This is especially true considering the mostly positive media coverage Obama has been getting.

The true moderate and conservative democrats will not vote for Obama. He will depend on the independent crossovers and young college students to get elected president. This will not be enough to beat McCain. The party democrats will do write ins or vote for another candidate if he is nominee. The DNC doesn;t realize how mad some voters are about how they have treated Mrs. Clinton and have been pushing Obama down their throats. They are placing the democratic parties hopes on a novice. Leave it to the democrats again to shoot ourselves in the foot. the reason the republicans beat the democrats so much is because the word loyalty means something. The way the democrats have turned on Hillary is been disgusting.

I can not wait for Obama to start talking McCain in circles. The GOP is running a completer and utter puppet against a real movement.

McCain was always my favorite Republican, but now he has sucked up to the failed policies of the worst administration of all time.

More of the same is over. The debate will turn to the war and economy and Obama dominates both. He has created jobs!

McCain is old school, but way too old. His fear tactics and rhetoric on the war is old too. No more fear!

Independent for Obama.

how many lies does she have to tell to show that she is not an honest person? as for Mccain-his admission that the economy is not something he knows much about will come back to haunt him-as will the fact that he does not know the difference between the shia and the sunnis

. . .Bill Brown I disagree. People in your native south may not vote
for a black man, but seeing that he's also white, maybe they will vote
for the white half( see how stupid prejudice sounds?) He survived the
wright flap because lies don't stick. Lastly, according to the polls,
there are many people who will for a SMART man.

Duh, I thought everyone knew that already. Hilary is too dirty to even stand next to McSame. Let's see what happens when her tax returns are released. How did she and Bill go from being broke to having a net worht of close to $100 million in 7 years? It sounds like they are in the Saudi's pockets again.

Hillary,

You little run was cute, but the parade is over and it is time to take your float back to New York where you can retire it!

LEILA:

You are NOT a Democrat. I am a Democrat, and a die-hard Obama supporter. And if Clinton gets the nomination, then my vote will go to her!! I AM A DEMOCRAT, and WE as a PARTY need to gain control of the WHITE HOUSE!

I dont believe we should actually take this as true, We know this whole election has been rigged big time, this is truely a sad time in America!

I hear Obama people saying if Clinton wins the nomination, then I'm voting for McCain and visa versa. WOW! So if you don't win the game, you'll take your ball home? How childish. Whoever wins the Demo nomination, that's who I'm voting for in the Presidential election. Who wants another "Bush" for President. Should he win, then those who voted for him because their candidate wasn't the Demo elected do not complain about Iraq or gas prices or economy because you voted for McCain!!

LEILA:

You are NOT a Democrat. I am a Democrat, and a die-hard Obama supporter. And if Clinton get the nomination, then my vote will go to her!! I AM A DEMOCRAT, and WE as a PARTY need to gain controll of the WHITE HOUSE!

You have to be kidding me! Obama can barely stand a female candidate. He is pushed in front by all his leftist allies, and is playing the race card and the cool card. But how can you imagine that serious Americans who support now Clinton will ever vote for this clown?

Republicans will be nasty as usual, But Obama is smarter!!!

Of couse he would. he has what Clinton does not have or will ever have: Honesty and Integrity, also he can admit to mistakes, he is not your typical politician and clinton is................

change change change

Obama is the next president of America. there is no doubt. some people are conservative and may not vote for him but that will be offset by young voters. so let conservative vote for Mccain. No problem. once Hillary and Bill will campaign for Obama in general election, everythng will be fine.

I think (like all you political pundits ever listen, but anyhoo!) that the R's don't know how to deal with someone like Obama. Kerry was kind of wet blanket. Hillary already has half the nation against her when it comes to likeability. McCain is very old.

It's a new ballgame with Obama. I will be fair in say that no matter what, Clinton or Obama, the R's have a hard fight ahead because they have made a lot of enemies over the last 8 years and America will come out against them in November.

Can someone explain how in hell John McCain got to be the nominee for president? Are americans walking around with their heads where the sun does not shine? Haven't we had enough of (Bush or Clinton) for one lifetime? We need to get every politician out of Washington and start over. NEVER RE-ELECT ANYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my third time attempting to post information on statistics and how these polls are deliberately set up in such a way to present Obama as doing much better than he actually is....but, of course, it never posts. Wonder why that's happening...........

Suffice it to say that the "need" for these falsified polls is being done for obvious reasons......Obama supporters are trying to present him as a much better candidate than he really is. If the democratic party wants to put Obama up against McCain, go ahead, but he will lose and you will have no one to blame but yourselves. You're so thirsty for power that you can't see beyond your own feelings of entitlement to the presidency. Just because you're black doesn't mean you are "entitled" to the nomination for the presidency.

I agree with the poll...and i think we should now (all) stop acting like clinton is going to win the nomination. Because as much as i would have liked her to win, i think there are some realities to be faced now. Donna brazille (DNC member and uncommited superdelegate) said yesterday that the only way that Hillary has a shot at the nomination (even if she miraculously won the 10 remaining states) it's if she took her case to the credentials committee to have the MI and FL delegates sat at the convention the way they voted in January regardless of whether Obama's name was on the ballot or not. Now, how the credentials committee works, is that the DNC elects 25 members to it and the remaining members are selected from the candidates-in that, each candidate gets 3 delegates for every state he or She has won. (and as we know, obama has 30 states to hillary's 14 so far, and that will shift the balance when it comes to voting on this issue on the floor of the convention)...The reality of this whole thing is so annoying to her that she can only hope the superdelegates will turn this around on a 2:3 ratio to her advantage (trashing the will of the people)... or, she can "fight for the will of the people" of MI and FL and lose the superdelegates when they in turn vote based "on the will of the people" because lets face it; she cant get ahead in the delegate count.

. . . .I like Hillary, I just think that she has too much baggage from
the Clinton years in the white house to be effective against the republican machine. Bill's impeachment scandal alone
will give the republicans enough amunition to sink her. Not to mention
her Bosnia tale. John McCain will charge her with making a mockery
of the servicemen who dodged real bullets. Obama survived the
Wright story because it wasn't the truth, therefore it didn't stick. There
is plenty of truth to the Clintons, therefore the republicans would have
an easier time disarming Hillary.

Sure,

Sure, LOL Obama would be tougher, McCain is not a racist like Obama.. McCain is a President for ALL of the people!! If Obama is President you can all start facing the east and praying to your new God.
You Dems would NOT know honor when it looks u in the eye!

Obama would be an easy Candidate for McCain because if he wins the Nomination then a lot backing Hillary will shift party's why! Obama has no Viable Fix on the Economy and is lacking the leadership ability during a war and here lately has become a race relations candidate after saying that its not about race! McCain will Take the Presidency! Hillary scares McCain and with good Cause!

Both Clinton and McCain are weak candidates.

Clinton says the vote to authorize the war in Iraq was a vote for peace.
McCain doesn't know the difference between Sunni and Shiite.

McCain says he doesn't understand economics.
Clinton says she doesn't understand anything Alan Greenspan says, but still thinks he knows what he's talking about.

Clinton is far weaker though. Her '35 years of experience' is so nonsensical. Her involvement in S-CHIP, in the Ireland peace process, and her battle experience in Bosnia is so exaggerated it is laughable.

HEY CNN, LETS TALK ABOUT HOW OBAMA HAS NEVER BEEN TO EUROPE AND HIS LIE ABOUT THE KENNEDY PLANE PICKING UP HIS FATHER IN KENYA. WHY ARE YOU BEING SO BIASED CNN.

Lou Dobbs:
QuickVote
Do you believe there is a media bias against Hillary Clinton and in favor of Barack Obama?
Yes 73% 12992
No 27% 4873
Total Votes: 17865

This is not a scientific poll

Bill Brown.... I'm from the south.... Speak for yourself please.....

like Hillary says, don't underestimate the inteligence of the voter! They know who can beat McCain, Obama can.

I cannot believe this poll, after all of Obamas issues he is definitely not the stronger candidate to run...

McCain is toooooo old to be a president for the 21st century.

To Scott C, no one could be more wrong. The anti Hillary people are mean and nasty with comments CNN should disallow. We need to forget about polls at this point since each one has been inaccurate.

I am sad that major news organizations use polls like this one (1005 people!) as a reliable sampling of the nation at large. Please.

But, since I'm here – Obama '08!

Obama would surely be the strongest Dem against McCain.

People in their right mind support Obama.

Bill, Right on!
Hillary has the strength and power to win and bounce McCain for a loop.
Can't wait for the knock out.
No No No Obama. He talks the talk but can't walk the walk only out

I would not want Hillary to be a vice-JANITOR at the White House, not to mention President of VP. She sucks at leadership SO badly, she should go back and take Political Science 101, and even that won't help.

Who are these people that get polled? Do these people seriously think that the Republicans will not pull out all the stops to crush Obama.

Of course Obama would be tougher on the Republicans; He doesn't 'tear up" as easily as Hillary. And he has proven he can "take the heat" when confronted with an issue.

2008!!!! The Year Obama, Got stuck in the Gate...

I do not believe that Obama can win over McCain. McCain will win easily. But we shall see.

The Republicans will go after all the anti-American talk that comes from Obama's wife and friends. We don't know enough about Obama.

My gut is telling me not to trust the polls. The republicans are going after the fresh meat. Think about it, we have heard all the trash on the Clintons. I just hope Obama doesn't have hidden trash in his can.

hmmmmmm...interesting that gallup reports those numbers when rasmussen reports that the race for the Dem Nom is at 46/43....hmmmmmmmm

why are all these polls cnn shows so biased

I'm a Obama supporter and he has the nomination wrapped up. I think people will come to their senses and not vote for another 4 years of bushology regardless of who the nominee.

Oh bunk. There is more Obama propaganda floating around the air, then pollutants and Obama just eats it up. Yuck. Clinton will take on McCain and anyone else – even Obama

oh sure he would be tougher................the rep. are licking their chops as we wait

Nothing will unite the Republicans faster than nomination Hillary Clinton.

Our country needs someone who is experienced to take care of the mess that we are in. If Obama gets the nomination, I will definitely vote for McCain. Obama is as inexperience as George Bush. Our country can’t afford another copy cat of George Bush.

Any Democrat who will vote for McCain, or any other Republican frankly, is not a thinking Democrat. If you're behind only the person and won't vote for the party's nominee if he/she isn't your first choice, you're not a Democrat. Is this difficult to understand?

I agree totally with Bill Brown. The states that Obama won in the primary are typical red states for the most part. When you can win a primary with a couple of thousand votes, you are in trouble in November. Obama's liberalism will bite him in the butt!

Thank you CNN for the lession on why we should not try to use a national poll to predict the result of state-by-state presidential races.

AND WHY???? 'CAUSE HE IS A MAN?????
Take a look at his so call accomplishments, they are not even close to Hillary's
The country needs a BIG CHANGE, not "another kid on trainning" we need a woman in the WH to show the country that woman can do it too.

E-E-E-E-vil Woman.

If Hillary gets the nomination the republicans are gonna whip the dems like they stole something from them....

Yes we can........

Yes we believe that Obama is the best one to fight the GOP..

Obama is the next US President....

Go.... President Barack Obama......

"Sen. Barack Obama would be a tougher candidate against the presumptive Republican nominee John McCain in a potential fall match-up."

Wow, guess what? That's what the republicans want you to think. They're not dumb. Hillary 08

Actually Hillary will be too busy being involved in the political fundraising fraud case involving Peter Paul in October to be much use on the campaign trail.

Obama has about $31 million in the bank, and can raise much more. If Hillary Clinton steals the nomination, Obama could and should run as an independent and drain as many votes from her as he can. For that reason alone, Clinton should quit now.

Polls can often prove to be wrong. Either candidate will sink McCain. Hillary has worked with him and knows him longer and knows his weaknesses. If a democrat doesn't win this time around something is soooooooo wrong with that party.

Hillary '08

Osama, Michelle and all their cronies cannot withstand the Pubbie hit squad to the Dems if Osama is nominated. PERIOD!!! Conservative and moderate voters will not tolerate socialistic governance and the left of the left leadership.

cnn is so biased against Hillary.

With 83% positive media coverage, I would find any less favorable number shocking. Wait until the GE.

Are you listening Hillary? Are you listening Hillary's Hate Club? Are you listening Super Delegates?

Obama is whimpy, no substance to this guy all words and no actions.( He even bowls like a girl. lol) Hillary is tough, she is strong, she is just right for America, GO HILLARY!!

McCain president ?
Al Quaeda moving to Mexico, just a step closer

Great national poll.....except we elect our Presidents state-by-state!

Let's poll Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida.... bet you the numbers would be reversed b/c Archie Bunker Democrats don't want to vote for Obama....

How again could this guy be elected President????

That is so much bs, Elmer Fudd could beat John McBush.

HAIL TO THE MONARCHY !!!!

I THOUGHT WE FOUGHT THE ENGLISH TO RID OURSELVES OF IT.

TO MAKE THINGS WORSE, IT'S WORKING TERRIBLY FOR US.

No way, all I have heard from people around me that Obama has no chance. I do not think the poll is accurate.

Mrs. Clinton should run as a Independent! She would win easily in a three way race!

As stetd by CNN on another article:

"the former first daughter also said she doesn't think people should "vOTE FOR OR AGAINST MY MOTHER BACAUSE OF MY FATHER" .

THERE GOES THE ARGUMENT OF HILLARYTHAT HER EXPERIENCE BASES OF WHAT SHE LEARNED FROM BILL !!

ALBO

the fact that Clinton supporters would vote McCain if Obama gets the nom. is a two-way street. Both Clinton and McCain are more attractive to both parties as opposed to Obama who appeals solely to Democrats.

Obama can take care of himself just fine.

Maybe 22 percent of Republicans polled this way because they really want Obama to run and lose against McCain??

Leila, don't sound so mad about the Republicans having four more years if you're willing to vote for them.

Whatever, Obama is going to be apart by the Republicans in the general election.

OBAMA CAN'T EVEN WIN THE BIG STATES AGAINST HILLARY……why do they still think he can beat McCain in November?

After lying about Bosnia and Ireland, I'm sure she'll be the tougher candidate against McCain. Now that's funny!!

Obama all the way baby!

Whatever, Obama is going to be apart by the Republicans in the general election.

OBAMA CAN'T EVEN THE BIG STATES AGAINST HILLARY......why do they still think he can beat McCain in November?

Bill Brown, you seemed to cherish your racist southern culture and then in the same sentence ridicule Mr. Wright?

I Think Rev. Wright and Mrs. Obama have already determined Obama's fate against McCain. The Republicans will beat him like a rented mule.

lol"""come on!!you guys just figured that out???? try and keep up cnn!!"lolllll" obama 09

When are you going to poll me CNN,? you are the reason why I will vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't get the nomination.

Democrats are so dumb. If I was a Republican, I would purposely state that the candidate I DON'T want to face in the general election would be the EASIEST to beat.

If you think that you cannot vote Obama if he gets nomination, then Stop calling yourself as democrat...

Give her time, she will rebound in the Polls. I thought we have all learned that by now! How can you get an accurate view of something when so few are polled?

Go Hillary!

Hillary would beat McCain, easier than Obama, the republicans,
know that, so they use reverse phsycology, and yes the media is
not helping by babying Obma.

OK. watch the Tuesday news. On Lou Dobbs Monday night they said the media is picking on Hillary. So now true to form, Hillary will whine and ask for our money.

The republicans are chomping at the bit waiting for Obama..They're going to chew him up then spit him out.

To: Bill Brown

You just said a mouthful about Hill/Billy – Nasty, vindictive, sleazy, etc., etc., etc..................

Of course he is. Billary is (Bush Light). She said that she would not pull out of Iraq in her first term. She is in bed with the same crooked Lobby groups that Bush is. Obama has an economic plan and Hillary has... a speech she gave in PA last week.

Let's see here, 1,005 people polled, out of millions. I wonder what the odds are that a huge percentage of those 1,000 plus people were Obama supporters, independents or Republicans? If they were Hillary supporters, then the poll would be just the opposite.

I totally agree and so does Rush Limbaugh! McCain can't pour piss out a boot when all he has to do is turn it over!

Obama 08

Obama will win-Billary will SINK!

Republicans have also acknowledge that...Obama is stronger than Hillary-that is the reason Republican's talk radio hosts 're asking republicans to cross over and vote for Hillary.
Democrats wake up..

Obama 08....

Get real! Like the Republicans are going to handle him with the same kid gloves the Clinton campaign has, even though the Obama campaign keeps crying about the "kitchen sink". If you want tough, you want Hillary Clinton!

Sen John MCcain will roll over obama in about a week if that long, hell obama can't even beat a gal with out the help of the news media.

JeeZ!!! Who the heck are these people polling?

McCain will wipe up the floor with Obama. Let's face it, his 'base" is pretty much tapped out. How much money does he think his "base" has?

He's behind in the electoral college 219 to 202 against Clinton. He thinks he can win in November?

Says who?

what does Obama know about war or foreign policy?

Leila – I don't understand why someone would vote against their beliefs or self interest purely out of spite. I don't get.

People don't elect PROVEN LIARS. Time for the Superdells to shut this one down.

59% to 30% sounds good! Gallup says it all, case closed! Let's move on to the General Election – Obama vs McCain, and leave the Clintons out on the street with the trash.

Tough is not a word I would use to describe Obama.

not on Racism!

Isn't it funny how every national poll shows Obama continuing to rise and Clinton continuing to fall, and Pennsylvanians so out of step.

Always a democrat, I will not vote for Clinton 1) because I do not trust her, and 2) because I don't like creating royal families. Obama is strong, and he sure can select better VP than Clinton.

What SUPPORT do you Clintonites have to support your claims that Clinton has a better chance against Obama?

I think you people have drank too much of the Clinton koolaid and have little rational thought left. Talk about a cult!

Bill Brown – where do you get your news from – the Inquirer?

Be careful – your racism is showing... probably because you're not even trying to hide it.

cue the Clinton-supporter head explosions!

Leila, who cares about your vote......No Country for Old MEN OBAMA 08

Hillary will burn the village to the ground before she quits and take the democratic party will her.

Give me a break!!! McCain will crush him

Of course Obama would be a tougher candidate against McCain…. they're not long-time friends like McCain is with the Clintons!

Besides, it's not like Obama has any OBLIGATIONS to the old-school politicians. All the more reason to get Obama in that seat of power so he can start making those changes we so desperately need!

who is gonna come out to vote for her in Nov? she already has turned the two-third of the country off by her negative tactics and her lies in this campaign.

If Hillary can't beat Obama, let alone by the landslide victory that was to be hers, how could she possibly beat McCain, if Obama is too weak to beat him? Yes, even in politics, 1+1=2. Some people just can't or won't do the math.

Democrats have lost their marbles. They are going to nominate either Hillary, a loser wife or Obama, a rookie Senator. McCain will make dust of either of them.

I beg to differ on that poll. This is a joke of an election if the more experienced candidate does not win!

McLame doesnt stand a chance against either but Obama will absolutely crush him. How does Hillary contend that she is better able to beat McSame? Is it the experience under sniper fire?

I've said this before and it now appears the polls show it. Many of the Clinton supporters won't vote for Obama. He wasn't able to win key swing states such as Ohio, Florida and upcoming Pennsylvania and without the Clinton supporters he is in trouble.

Obama will be the nominee PERIOD! If the Country wants more of the same I say vote for McCain! If not vote for Obama! It's just that simple!

Of course the Republicans would say that because they want Obama to win so they can beat him.

Why do you bother CNN? These BillyBots wouldn't believe you if you said the sun was out at NOON!

I have a question that NO bIllaryBot will answer.

IF YOU LOVE HER SO MUCH THEN WHY OH WHY IS SHE B-R-O-K-E??

Just like her? All TALK no Action??

Obama Will Not Make It!!!!!!!!!

I agree that Senator Obama has a much more better chance at beating McCain than Clinton.

Obama is TOUGH – he has beaten the Clinton machine all of these months and he can beat the McCain machine too.

Clinton has TOOO much baggage past and present for the republicans to use against her! Ya haven't seen it thus far because Obama is running his campaign with integrity.

In considering Clinton, a self proclaimed pant suit guru, as the head of the USA, one should decide if she measures up to Britain's former PM Margaret Thatcher.

I'm hoping Obama does get the nomination. This way in 4 years we can have someone with experience win the White House. And poor Obama will be on that list of losers with Gore, Kerry, Dukakis, Mondale and Carter.

Obama '08 = racist church, anti American

Not True, if Obama is the nominee, MANY people will vote for McCain. Too bad CNN is so biased in their coverage. If the Republicans win the presidency, it's OBAMEDIA'S fault!!!!

Duh, we have all none that this whole election.

a lot of people on this blog sounds republican , so if hillary win i"ll be republican too

All I have to say is: haven't we always known this?

the only people who haven't gotten the memo are the Clintons.

its a 1000 person sample. people are crazy

This poll result is what most Americans have all known for months and the point spread is getting better and better. What we are watching is Campaign Clinton imploding in on itself

another poll says stfu

Does one needs a poll for that ??? Hilary has confessed her admiration for McCain hundreds of time; both of them voted for the war in Irak; both of them are Washington insiders. Obama can draw the sharpest contrast with Mac.

OK, all you peace loving, open-minded, enlightened liberals, let's see how mean, nasty and full of hatred you can be with your anti-McCain comments!

JAMES FROM NEW ORLEANS. Who came to New Orleans. It sure wasnt O.B. He just wants the votes. HRC is the only prayer to beat the republicans. She has nothing to hide ,and has faced them before. GO HRC

I have a problem with the media portraying Barack of spliting the democratic party. Wasn't Hillary who threw the kitchen sink at Barack and isn't Hillary who always appears to go negative. I displeased with the negative media bias against Barack.

HILLARY DOESN'T HAVE A LEG TO STAND ON WITH MCCAIN.

SHE SUPPORTED THE WAR AS MCCAIN . HER MUD FEST DURING

THE WHITE HOUSE SCANDALS ( HIS & HERS ) AND HER CAMPAIGN,

ARE INDEFENSIBLE ALONG WITH HER CHRONIC LYING.

Bill That is wishful thinking-The Clinton News Network is ignoring the fact that she has stiffed small businesspeople,schools, and her own staff's health care premiums. You won't read that here–actually you won't read this either as CNN won't print it.

Obama is dead in the general people.

Do your homework and stop this cult worship. William Ayers, Rev. Wright and a wife who calls Americans "sloths" will doom Obama in the fall. We don't have much time to save our party from ruin. I'm a proud Democrat but will never support Obama and I think a lot of people feel the same.

Methinks all of you have forgotten: It's The War, Stupid!!!! And McCain's bellicose ways go very much against public opinion. Only Obama has been against this "stupid War" from the very beginning. The voters know that!!!

keep posting about Obama as keep giving up your audiences. we 're over it. You have no ideas how strong we, Clinton's supportter, are CNN.

I agree with Bill Brown that Hillary will want to sink Obama so she can run in 2012.

But I don't think that is a reason to reward her with the nomination.

Besides, if she undermines Obama in 2008, the superdelegates will remember that in 2012. And I don't think too many will line up behind her . . .

Says who? This is a Republican opinion so that the lesser candidate (Obama) can win the nomination. Can this country REALLY take another 8 years of Republican rule? Come on people. Wisen up!

Hillary 2008 . . . or down goes America.

Aha Big joke
We will never forget Jeremiah Wright Controversy in November , After that in his speech he changed the topic may be some top democratic leaders and pundits can say he will win not me if Hillary is not nominee my vote for Mc Cain

Can HIllary Clinton respect America enough to show us the Taxes? and where's Bill Clinton getting all his money from.

How many campaign finance law have she broke and will there be an investigation after this election....

Bill Brown,

We don't need a vote from you, or any other racist. To think that you are so proud to say you won't vote for a black man. Big deal. God has a sense of humor and the very person that you won't vote for, may make a difference in your life someday.

I feel sorry for you, and your family.

The Republicans and Hillary don't make a difference in this campaign, God is bigger than any of them.

God bless America, even the racist.

Obama 08

SINCE OBAMA KEPT SILENT ON REVOTE FOR FLA. AND MICH.

FLORIDA DEMOCRAT FOR MCCAIN...IF HILLARY IS OUT

How relevant is this? You're going to ask people like ME who is a tougher opponent? And then take that as meaning something?

News flash: We are not polititicans. We are not economists. We are not sociologists. This is not American Idol.

To all of you who think Obama won't be able to beat McCain...
Why don't you ask Hillary how if she thinks it is easy to run againt Obama?????

I agree. Hillary has so much more baggage that if given the opportunity, it will make heads spin. The American people haven't heard the half of it. The Republicans are chopping at the bits to bring her and Bill down.

the poll is spot on

Obama vs. McCain: Obama gets the left, McCain gets the right, they split the middle ground. Some Hillary supporters stay home. Some McCain supporters stay home.

Clinton vs. McCain: Clinton gets the left, McCain gets the right plus nearly all the middle ground. Some Obama supporters stay home. Conservatives are ultra-motivated to keep Clinton out of office.

Looks like a no-brainer.

This is why Democrats need to unite behind our candidate. I am for Obama but would vote for Hillary if she miraculously won the nomination.Say NO to 4 more years of Bush and 100 years in Iraq.

McCain = WAR with Iran.

Either candidate will win over McCain. The Americans will not let a Republican win the office this time. Especially not one who is so similar to Bush.
Democrats will vote democrat in the end.
Did that poll have an option of either one? Probably not.

If you make a statement like "If Obama wins I will vote Republican"
My answer to you is fine, see ya! so long, good bye, farewell, get the message? Because for every idiot like you Obama or Clinton will have a new democrat. The youth vote! So you people who want to play games with your vote when you don't get your way. I say go-away! It's time for the REAL Democrats to stand up.

_peace out ,biotch__

Bill Brown – where do you get your information? The Inquirer? Your racism is showing! (and you didn't even remotely try to hide it)

I like what I've heard so far from Senator Obama. Would love to vote for someone other than our typical Washington-type politicians... and would find it very difficult to vote for the smart, but divisive Mrs. Clinton.

Now why have the Republicans wanted allong Hillary to win the nomination. It seems Hillary would say because she is the most electable, but that doesn't nake sense, now does it?

Why would democrats vote for McCain is beyond me.

Obama or Clinton, just need to make sure, another Republican doesn't run the country into the ground.

We have all seen, what happens, when Fox News and Rush Limbaugh run the country through their puppets.

When you are paying 4+ dollars for gas you should pat yourself on the back for that vote. Also, when the war touches you at home pat yourself on the back for that too. Don't be crazy......stick to what you believe. Don't give to the media.......

Most polls disagree with this.

McCain beats Obama in Ohio, Florida, and Pennsylvania.

|||||||||

People, Dems AND Reps say Obama is harder to beat. You can claim it's the Reps trying to set up the Dems to fail all you want but the fact is this poll was asking REPS AND DEMS! Everyone knows the Clintons have a ton of dirty laundry in their closet that the Reps are just waiting to get to.

Obama 08

Yes I agree.

I want to state that these HRC supporters are really negative ans it sad. The best canidate will win the nomination. Obama seems to have it so get off it.

Obama 08

Folks historically seem to think it is a Republican strategy to get Hillary the nominee so she can be beat. You might want to ponder the idea of the reverse. What if it IS Obama the republicans would like to contend with because they know they have more ammunition to take him down. What if....

Refreshing!...................

Good God I am sick of these Polls. Next week these percentages will be completely different. Right now, the democrats have two very strong candidates that will both cream "grandpa" in the upcoming election. The Democrats are split right now but once we have our candidate, we'll band together to ensure we don't have more of the same. I think most of us are done with "white guys" as President. They've screwed things up bad enough. It will be Obama or Clinton in the White House.

hillary has way too much baggage . republicans have all the goods on hillary . obama only has a crazy preacher and mccain has a crazy preacher too .

Clinton + McCain = more of the same old same old

The most change we would get is them changing seats in Washington and thats it!

Clinton has tooooooooooo much dirt .
And too much anger against her.

Folks, folks. Haven't we learned from this year's polls that the opposite is true? Who would've thought McCain would even be competitive at this stage back in December?

The truth of the matter is that Obama is going to be much easier to beat. It is a simple fact that there are many people – and not just in my native South – who will NOT vote for a black man, particularly one who does not exactly have overwhelming credentials.

Furthermore – the only reason he has survived the Wright flap is because there were no votes that week.

Once McCain and the GOP hit squad gets out that Obama has propsed over a trillion dollars in new spending in conjunction with an immediate retreat from Iraq, his inexperience is going to be his Achilles heel.

And I 've got news for you – Hillary will sink him so she can run again in 2012. Don't believe me? Just wait.

Hillary quoted polling when she said she needs to stay in this race.

I wonder what she is going to say when every single poll says everyone wants Obama and not her.

I would bet my money on her saying nothing.

He would be a tougher candidate because McCain is on auto-Bush pilot. In fact, Barack can go back to the 2000/2004 playbook during the debates.

McBush is a snoozefest, and the general debates will not be exciting. Barack on the other hand will have to watch the underhandedness of the Republican party. Remember Watergate, need I say more.

Obama 08

It has to be an Obama supporter that said that. McCain will chew him up and spit him out. He doesn,t stand a chance with McCain. What a laugh. Now Hillary is a whole different story she can hold her own with McCain. So if you want a Democrat for the next President you should vote for Hillary. GO HILLARY ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE> JEAN

So why is Hillary trying making the case that she is the strongest? She needs to reject and denounce her own comments about herself being a tough canidate for the general election. She would have No chance period.

I agree and I think alot of the reason behind this is the Clinton background. The past and the current campaign strategy being so negative is hurting her. Hillary is her own worst enemy.. She is a ticking time bomb in my opinion.

Obama 08

I think people are once again underestimating the Republicans. They haven’t even begun to attack Obama. They are just sitting back and letting the Democrats fight. Right now it may seem like he is hard to beat, but just you wait.

Amen

Obama has no chance of beating McCain. His wife, his friend from the Weathermen, and his mentor/pastor/advisor took care of that.
The Republicans will have 4 more years and I am a Democrat who will vote Republican if Obama gets the nomination.
NO = Not Obama

I absolutely agree.
